The customer relationship (**Framework Agreement** or **The Agreement**) is created by the **Customer** (**"you"**) by accepting a **Purchase Order** (**"PO"**) for the specified Support Services (**Booking**). Jointly you and ZITADEL will be referred to as **the Parties**. The terms of service (**"TOS"**) outlined in this document establish the most important points of this Framework Agreement – independently of the use of any other services.

### Term

Coverage under this Agreement will start with Booking of Support Services, for a minimum period of 12 months.
Support Services agreements will automatically renew for additional one-year term upon submission of a purchase order for renewal, unless either you or ZITADEL provides written notice (E-Mail sufficient) of termination of any such term.
Each renewal will be at ZITADEL's then-current rate.
In the event that you accesses ZITADEL Support services in any way after the Agreement has expired or been terminated, you will continue to be bound by this Agreement, which will continue to apply to the services after such expiration or termination.

## Your obligations

### Maintenance of units

You will ensure that units eligible for Support Service are maintained and upgraded frequently.
If you operate units with a release date older than 180 days since our latest stable release, the term is continued but ZITADEL is not required to handle any support request for that unit until the units are upgraded and re-certified.

In case we notice insufficient quality of support requests from Customers, we will propose appropriate training sessions.
